From a fantasy perspective, it can’t get any worse than this situation: Week 13 right before most fantasy playoffs, teams are fighting for that last playoff spot and a tandem of RB’s are playing a weak rush defense. In the Thursday night game, no less!
And the big question lingers . . . Who do you start? Jacquizz Rodgers or Michael Turner?

Steve Johnson and Brian Hartline always seem to fall between #20 and #30 in the WR rankings each week. This is mainly due to their inability to snag a trifecta of catches, yards, and TD’s. They usually only get 2 of the 3 thereby limiting their fantasy potential. Hartline has the catches and yards (49 for 741) but not the TD’s (only 1), while Johnson has the catches and TD’s (41 and 4) but not the yards (502). Hartline did blowup in Week 4 against the Cards (12 for 253 and 1 TD) but that game was an outlier.
The question now becomes “Which one has the better chance of putting up solid numbers in all three categories on Thursday?”

Fantasy football is a game of right now.
Last week is meaningless and so is next week actually.
Fielding the best lineup for the upcoming week is all most fantasy owners think about.
That kind of short-sighted thinking works for the regular season.
But you’ve also got to have a plan for the playoffs.
One that shows you’re serious about winning the whole damn thing.

I learned two things from fishing with my grandfather as a kid:
1) You can’t catch something if your line’s not in the water
2) The more lines in the water, the better your chances of eating that night
How does that apply to fantasy sports?
Well, for one, I hear from too many of my friends how badly their teams are doing this year.
I bust out my best impression of that goofy kid on the Coke Zero commercial and say “And?”
It seems like everybody accepts failure and forgets about getting off their asses and making some moves.
Don’t be one of those people . . .
